1 Sqn Hurricane I

[Fairlop]

Hi,

I am trying, without much success, to tie serial number to aircraft individual letter. It is a machine of the 1 Sqn, JX-R, ????7 from October-November 1940 period. Tim Elkington kindly provided picture of this.
Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Michal

V7377 was coded JX-R, but I don't know when it was with Number One.

PS Thought I'd better mention that although, in true British fashion, where everything stops for tea, we did take a very long time out for the MoD photo-shoot, we still packed in some operational stuff!!

I'm afraid I can't add any more to what Franek has stated.
